about the harvest: Harvest Date: 20 February 2012
Grapes were hand-picked at 21 degrees balling to obtain the red fruit spectrum of the Shiraz grape.
in the cellar : The grapes were hand sorted across the sorting tables before being de-stemmed into a basket press. The juice was settled overnight. Clear juice was racked off and fermentation took 16 days in a stainless steel tank after natural inoculation with wild yeasts at a temperature of 14ºC/57ºF. The wine was stirred in the tank 5 times during its short maturation phase, thus forcing the fine lees into suspension to create the rich mouthfeel on this wine.

Bottled: 29 June 2012
